By Editorial Board

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has been ranked the sixth most innovative university in the world, but with that power comes a responsibility for research ethics.

Editorial: Students deserve a bigger seat at the table in the chancellor search

By Editorial Board

"The University shouldn’t be surprised if students object when the new chancellor is named — especially since students were barely given a say in the first place. It’s a simple fix, really: just give students more of a say and it’ll make life easier for us all."

Editorial: We don't want the Atlantic Coast Pipeline in North Carolina

By Editorial Board

"The governor made a mistake in approving the first pipeline, which was made more clear when his administration disapproved of the second. Let’s hope he recognizes his mistake, listens to activists and changes his mind for the environmental future of North Carolina. We don't want the Atlantic Coast Pipeline in our state."

Editorial: Legislative inaction means rural North Carolinians are without health care

By Editorial Board

The indecisive nature of the state leaders, combined with an unclear future for Medicaid and health care, has led North Carolina to be ninth in the nation for the highest rate of uninsured residents.

Let’s never forget the Wilmington massacre

By Editorial Board

"It is up to us, those in the present day, to keep ourselves informed about the terrible events that occurred in Wilmington in November 1898, so that we can ensure that they never happen again."

Editorial: The New York MTA should take notes from Chapel Hill transit

By Editorial Board

That said, the status quo of police violence targeted at low-income and minority New Yorkers must begin its transition toward being fare-free, perhaps using Chapel Hill as a scalable model.

Editorial: Personal data fuels impersonal politics

By Editorial Board

Facebook maintains a hands-off, free-speech-oriented approach to regulating political ads even as advertisers use personal data to target users.

Editorial: Get BRT done

A better transit system will allow Chapel Hill to continue to develop as a town and improve the quality of life. BRT is the best solution we have to do it. Get it done. 

Editorial: A closer look at the campus climate survey

 In our opinion, expecting the University to do as much as possible to make sure we don’t get sexually assaulted is not too much to ask. Nor is it too much to expect that our experiences are validated and investigated fairly.
